In Elemental, Force of Nature players take on the role of Elementals, powerful beings who are constantly battling and scheming to outdo each other by using and manipulating Natural Phenomena. Elementals have two main powers: crushing the Natural Phenomena of other Elementals with Phenomena of their own and manipulating the 6 primal elements that make up these Natural Phenomena to outwit their opponents.
As an Elemental, you will be dealt a hand of 7 Natural Phenomena cards. Going clockwise, Elementals take turns matching the elements on the cards while making sure to not leave too great of an opening for their opponents. The real strategy comes in gaining and using an Elemental's greatest resource: Elemental Tokens.
These token allow you to manipulate the elements that make up a Natural Phenomenon, or exchange Phenomena from your arsenal.
Your goal is to make sure no other Elemental can crush the Natural Phenomenon you play. Think of this as a battle for survival where the last one to play wins the round. A game is at least 3 rounds and the player who has won the most rounds wins and proves that they are the most powerful Elemental, a true force of nature!
